Summary: We compare different techniques used to evaluate divergent multiple sums and integrals, either being inspired by the Birkhoff-Hopf approach of Connes and Kreimer in quantum field theory renormalization or arising from generalized evaluators, as well as different procedures within the Birkhoff Hopf framework. We then apply this study to evaluate divergent Riemann integrals indexed by rooted trees and by rooted trees decorated by symbols.
